A Protection from Major & Minor Shirk!
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told Aboo Bakr رضي الله عنه:
I swear by Him in whose hand my soul is, the inconspicuous Shirk in this ummah is just like the creeping of the black ant on the black rock in the pitch black darkness of the night.
Then the Prophet said, I would like to inform you of something if you say it Allah will expiate all this kind of Shirk - all the Shirk will go away from you:
اللهم اني أعوذ بك ان أشرك بك شيءاوانا اعلمه واستغفرك لما لا اعلم
O Allah, I seek refuge in you from ascribing anything with You i.e., associating partners with You for worship or to worship of that which I am conscious of. And I seek refuge in You, I ask You for Your pardon from that (Shirk) which I'm not aware/conscious of.

“Reflect over the story of Mūsa عليه السلام in the Qur'ān, so when you sit with others who are having a discussion about Dīn, listen to them speak first, even if you know the answer. Don't be hasty, if you humble yourself, this will increase your Sabr and Taqwa.
Avoid speaking about people's faults and say "This person does this and that", because it will make you think, "SubhānAllāh, this person does all these bad things, Alhamdulilâh I don't do them, so I must be so much better than him". This is an enormous disease, purify your heart from any kind of pride, having more knowledge than someone else doesn't necessarily make you more pious than them, so fight against this evil Wiswās from the Shaytān. Forgive your muslim brother and let go of any jealousy, envy or grudges.”

We all have 'customised' trials. Some with wealth, some family, some friends, some health, some are tested with things which we can't see, in the mind, the waswasah and temptations..
We not only try be patient with OUR trials..but we also try to lessen others tests for them..it maybe a smile, time from your life, advise, a hug, gifts or physical help..or a dua..trying to get them justice, etc..
It's never a competition..I'm tested more than them..I can't be there for them, etc..
That's having patience..in your trial..and in your ibadah, in your responsibilities and obligations..
Cause even in the hardest of trials..it's never truly about you..and only you..you are still a lil Part of the bigger family..the ummah..you can't forget about them..
So even bearing this in mind..you got to have patience..
For His Sake..to be there for your brothers and sisters in however way you can..
We can't wallow in our own grief and misery and forget our identity and true purpose..

Our true identity and purpose...to be vicegerents of Allah on earth...for that we need to act as a collective body...work together...and for that we need to think well of each other and have proper Walaa... mutual love and mercy....
It's not about 'me'. It's about the ummah as a whole. So even when severely tested...one would still have to fulfill rights of others and other obligations...and not just be focusing on own misery and be complaining to others and blaming them....
If we ALL individuals act like this...this ummah would thrive bi-idhnillah...

Being religious doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy this world.
In fact Allah سبحانه و تعالى ordered us to enjoy His blessings but without disobeying Him.

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ أَمۡ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقۡفَالُهَآ
Do they not then think deeply in the Quran, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?

The Prophet ﷺ, said :
“It is not befitting for anyone to prostrate for anyone else. If it were appropriate for anyone to prostrate for another, I would have ordered a wife to prostrate for her husband, due to the enormity of his rights over her.”
